8:33 am
says there's no doubt that israel's goal is ethnic cleansing of palestinians in gaza and depriving them of any chance for survival. gaza is absolutely catastrophic, the zionist terrorist regime is not only killing palestinians, particularly children and women and the elderly by hing them into so called safe zones and then bombing them there, but by blocking the rough crossing which is now into its 72nd day and preventing this critically injured people from going abroad essentially to egypt or places beyond to receive treatment is absolutely barbaric, it shows the inhumane nature of the zionists and the way that they are conducting the their bombing campaigns, it is now clear to everybody. that the zist entities objective
8:34 am
lo is to ethnically cleanse the whole of gaza from the palestinian people and they are prepared to go to any lens to kill as many people as possible. in your report earlier it was mentioned that more than 38800 palestinians have been killed, but few days ago, lasted the british journal, the british medical journal actually estimated that perhaps as many as 108% 6000 palestinians might have been killed, so we can see that this is absolutely a horrendous situation that the palestinian people are facing in a gaza. the un agency for palestinian refugees on roa says at least eight schools have been targeted by israeli strikes in gaza during the past 10 days, honor commissioner general philip lazarini said six of the agency schools were among those targeted across a blockated territory had. hitting schools by

8:36 am
they barely have food and water, they have nothing, the entire gaza area and and palestine in general has been destroyed and crumbled into dust so... so the question becomes who, what countries are going to be investing uh gaza and the palestinian people with money, with resources, with infrastructure, and that is the duty, i would say of every islamic country on the face of the planet, and indeed every christian, like myself, is on the side of the palestinian people, and it is incoming us as well, but unfortunately the united states is strangled by the zionist lobby, but i would like to... see turkey and jordan and syria and saudi arabia and iran and and uh pakistan and malaysia and uh parts of africa come together a massive humanitarian uh aid or uh floatilla uh landing. i would like to see them declare

links to terrorism. israel doesn't represent all jews over the war, that's the case, and nothing in relation to jewish or antisemitism, but i think the... ideological, the political newspapers and the groups or let me say research centers, they use that for political reasons, the try to silence anyone criticize israel. the cancellation of the press conference at the italian parliament goes beyond asm campaign against the palestinian who runs a human rights organization in ramala during the press conference, law makers from number of opposition. parties including the democratic party, the five star movement and the green and left alliance, were supposed to discuss what role italy could play in gaza in view of sice fire and the recognition of the palestinian statehood by rome? because of this pressure italy cowardly abstains from

8:47 am
it's time now for the news review of this bulleton. china's permanence representative. blame nato and certain countries for showing discord, putting security at risk in their influence zones, history has amply proved that wherever nato's hand extends, turmoil and chaos will ensue, we urge nato and certain countries to reflect on themselves and stoping the trouble makers who jeeperdize common security at the expense of others.ong also criticized some countries for imposing unilateral sanctions under security. pretest, which he said only disrupts global supply chains, added that such attempts will ultimately lead to a situation where no one wins. he also touched upon ukraine and gaza wars, he accused nato of seeking to expand it influence with false narratives and even shifting blame for the ukraine crisis on external parties. the mar during security

debate chaired by russia and multilateral cooperation to help read more. democratic and sustainable world order. china and russia have long been criticizing the us for its unilateral actions in international arena. they argue that washington's disregard for the interest of other countries bringing stability. harley schlanger, spokesman of the international schiller institute from ponstam germany. we also have john, journalist, activist and political analyst who joins us from frederito in canada. come to you both, so harley schlanger, when you want to take a look at uh what china is saying, it's a a clash of what world order they see in their views and what the us sees, what makes the us think that their world order is the one and the just one where china's is undemocratic and it threatens uh the world order according
8:49 am
to the way that the us sees it? i think the best way to look it is the us has an arrogance towards the rest of the world, and the arrogance leads to the delusion that there's only one way that nations should relate each other, and that's with the idea of a unipolar order, which is backed up by us and nato military. there was just a nato summit in washington d.c., and chinese ambassador was was talking about is nato made decision to expand to asia as well as to increase the amount of american. presence in europe, so on the one side you have the attempt to surround russia completely and now to surround china and at the same time to continue to support israel in the of genocide against the palestinians in gaza, so there's nothing that justifies this, there's no, the united states is not the source of justice in
8:50 am
the world, in fact it's a source of much of the injustice, the wars and the sanctions by the way, besides killing people. as they have in in iraq and and yemen and libya, the sanctions policy is driving the rest of the world away from the united states and the us is losing all credibility, so you can only have bind arrogant delusion in the minds of the western policy makers and that's the problem in the world. well don't, i don't need to tell you, i'm sure you are well aware one of the facts that stands out with the us, and that is that the their so-called defense budget, they call it is 10 times more than uh the other country 10 countries combined. um, they are have a militaristic approach, and that is very evident when we take a look at the different conflicts around the world uh, so how can they think that that is the right approach as opposed to what china is preaching? i'm not going to say one is uh better than... the other, but surely uh, there's got to be better way than just militarily approaching uh problems. well, first of all, the pro, we have the expression in english, the proof is in the pudding. in
8:51 am
other words, once you cook something, you taste it and you see what the results are. china has been maintaining that war is not the way to go for decades. china is now the leading economy in the world. they have overtaken the united states in several key sectors and will overtake the united states in the remaining sector. in the near future, that that leaves the united states in a losing position economically, which causes them to step to their back foot, it's actually their front foot, which is war. nato is nothing more than a war alliance, a war machine. china ha has head to defend itself and is building up its defense in response, but it is nowhere near the united states in terms of power projection against others. china. has one aircraft car carrier, america has 22, but since the arrival of the kinjal rocket, which can sync all 22 american aircraft carriers in five minutes, the toll
8:52 am
has come for the american empire. if there is a war between china and america, just few rockets will equal the score, and this is a result of focus on science and technology and mathematics and education, the even the us president donald j. trump for president trump called the us media that pushes the false narratives about america defending itself, even he defined those narratives as a product the lying msm, nothing more, nothing less. thank you, journalist, activist and political analyst. harley schlanger, thank you, spokesman at the international chiller institute, thank you to you both. we come to an end for this news review, that's a wrap
